Not always, if the smaller number is 0 or a negative number. Then their sum will be equal or less than the greater number.

The sum of two numbers is greater than either number?

The sum of two numbers will almost always be greater than either number. The only exception would be when dealing with two negative numbers.


What is a conjecture for multiplying two odd numbers?

One possible conjecture: The product is always an odd number. Another possible conjecture: The product is always greater than either of them. Another possible conjecture: Both odd numbers are always factors of the product. Another possible conjecture: The product is never a multiple of ' 2 '. Another possible conjecture: The product is always a real, rational number. Another possible conjecture: The product is always an integer.


What is the product of two odd numbers?

The product of two odd numbers is always an odd number.


A group of students are finding the perimeters of rectangles whose lengths and widths are whole numbers they notice that all the perimeters are not even numbers is this always true?

No, it is always false. Perimeter of a rectangle= 2l + 2w, l= length, w=width. 2*any whole number, regardless odd or even, is even. Thus 2l is even and 2w is even. The sum of two even numbers is always even.


What is the perimiter of a rectangle if one side is 22 feet?

In order to know the perimeter of a rectangle, you need to know both its length and its width ... two numbers. One number isn't enough. If one side of a rectangle is 22 feet, then the perimeter of the rectangle can be any number greater than 44 feet. There are an infinite number of different possibilities.
